  Unfortunately, I think I meet the conditions.  At least, here
are the relevant info if I am right...

  1/ I always use project scenarii.  In the dialog "Configure
Transformation Scenario", "Project Scenarios" is ticked, as
opposed to "Global Scenarios".  scenarios.load.from.project is
set to true also, in the XPR file.

  2/ All files are descendants of the project directory.

  3/ This entire project directory is within the Subversion
repository, so all the files (within the directory) are the
same both sides.

  4/ I never use both machines at same time, and always shut
oXygen down when I leave one place for the other.

  5/ I always update the working copy of the repository before
launching oXygen.  Really, I am not looking for troubles, so I
always work like that :-)

  So I checked there is a scenarioAssociation element in the
XPR file for the file I'd like to test, with its correct name
(as a relative path.)  Then I try the "Apply Transformation
Scenario" action, but it launches the scenarii selection dialog
box.  If I select a scenario and save the project, I can see in
the XPR a new scenarioAssociation with the same file, but with
an absolute path (like file:/C:/...)

  I run oXygen 10.1 both sides, build 2009022414.

  Is there anything I missed?

  Thanks for your help,
